For Akshay Kumar, safety comes first and his wife Twinkle Khanna's latest post on Instagram proves it. On Sunday, Twinkle posted a video of the duo returning from a hospital and described how the scene on "deserted roads" looked like amid the 21-day lockdown. In the video, in which Akshay can be seen driving with a mask on, she hilariously called him her "driver all the way from Chandni Chowk" and clarified that she visited the hospital for her "broken foot" and not for Coronavirus. "The roads are deserted except for some pigeons and crows... Here's my driver all the way from Chandni Chowk and we are on our way back from the hospital. No, I don't have coronavirus. People go to the hospital for many things, including like me for being unusually clumsy," Twinkle said in the video.
Referring to Akshay Kumar's contribution of Rs 25 crore to COVID-19 relief fund, Twinkle, who is known for her epic sense of humour, added: "So this Sunday, my husband's pocket is lighter and our hearts have never been more full. And my foot is bloody broken. A happy Sunday to you as well."
